New movie vampire Rob Pattinson is set to go gay in a independent film about artist Salvador Dali. The much-hyped British star - who can be seen in new horror picture Twilight - portrays the surrealist in Little Ashes, which is due for release next year.

And it has been revealed that the film features a gay love scene between him and Javier Beltran, who plays author Federico Garcia Lorca, according to Eonline.com.

The movie centers on the relationship between a teenage Dalí, Lorca and filmmaker Luis Bunuel in Madrid, Spain in the early 1920s.
